News Atwood Primary School

Our last traditional tale of the term was ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’.

The children used the classic book ‘Peepo’ by Janet and Allan Ahlberg to explore how life has changed since the 1940s.

As daffodils start to appear around the school grounds and the days start to get a little longer, it is amazing to think that we are now half way through the school year.

It has been a week of mystery, giggles, and some very strange ingredients!

Over the last two weeks, we have been reading the traditional story of The Three Little Pigs.

This week, we have started to see preparations ramping up for Museum Day. 

It has been a fun week in Reception and the children have been busy working hard.

On Friday, schools across the trust participated in an interschool poetry competition.

Another very busy week has flown by at Atwood. In Nursery, this week the children have been making their own Gingerbread Men.

This week in Reception, the children have been diving into the fascinating world of dinosaurs!

Welcome back and Happy New Year to everyone. I hope that everyone managed to get some rest over Christmas as well as finding time to enjoy the festivities. 

Happy New Year and first week back!  This term, our topic is ‘Run Run as Fast as You Can’ and we will be reading different traditional tales.

This week, our Reception classes have stepped back in time as part of our exciting learning about dinosaurs, history and museums.

This week in Nursery, we have been reading the Nativity story.

As the term draws to a close and we look forward to the festive period and a bit of a break, it is worth taking a moment to reflect.
